Sad to see Argentina match moved due to civil unrest. Does not matter whether the specter of ICE arrests or the unruly demonstrations caused the move. Either way it is bad for the city and for the workers and businesses who would have benefitted from the event.
Doesn't seem related... https://meninred97.com/sources-comm...a-puerto-rico-friendly-relocation-to-florida/ "In the time tickets were on sale, sources have said that scarcely more than 1,000 tickets for the event moved before the friendly was relocated." "On Wednesday night, the Chicago Cubs hosted a Division Series game at Wrigley Field without issue. Last Saturday, the Chicago Fire closed out their home regular season matches in front of a crowd of 24,653." "The Chicago Marathon, scheduled for the day before the friendly was to have taken place, is expected to draw over 50,000 participants and over 1.7 million spectators, with about 40% of the runners traveling from overseas for the event."
Not trying to ascertain reason(s), just reflecting the news headlines and noting the occurrence and it’s negative local effects.
That is so sad! No, really, I am very sad for him! Seriously, it is not funny to laugh at someone losing their job. Well, maybe he and the team were just not "practicing cheerfully" enough!
